Notice biographique
Born in Ootacamund, India in 1862, Kenrick, although not a scientific botanist, amassed a large collection of herbarium specimens over a six decade period. He collected in India and around his later homes in England - much of this collection is at the Hull University Herbarium, but his 1886-7 Nilgiri collection from south India is now at the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. For more information see http://www.natstand.org.uk/time/KenrickHWGtime.htm
Histoire archivistique
The Nilgiri Herbarium of Reverend Kenrick has long been held in the Herbarium at RBGE whereas the rest of Kenrick's collections are held at Hull University Herbarium. These notebooks and lists relate to the Nilgiri collections and therefore were sent to Edinburgh in November 2014 to reunite the collections.
